Emma Willard's Maps of Time

Those are some cool maps. But I was surprised to see her rely on Ussher's claim for "Creation" in 4004 BC.

And then I remembered the Scopes trial.

These presentations are from decades before Darwin, and about a century before the Scopes thing.

Yes, that's what I meant. There's so much about the 1800s that seems so modern. Especially the engineering. So I tend to forget about religion.
